REALTOR® | Partner

License # SL3061063

REALTOR® & Business Owner for 30+ years!

John is known in his circles to be generous, outgoing, and a consummate professional in whatever he sets his mind to.

John and his wife and business partner, Amy, have lived in Jupiter since 1998, and in other areas of Palm Beach County since 1990. John's career began in IT but his passion for real estate led him into the business in 2001. Since then, John and Amy have built a thriving Real Estate business and are well known for their fierce loyalty to their clients and commitment to service. They generously give back to the community with time and through various events and charities. John was a soccer and then lacrosse coach to his daughters for over 15 years and is actively involved in the Jupiter/Tequesta/Hobe Sound Athletic Association. His oldest daughter is now the captain of her D1 lacrosse team at Bryant University in RI. His youngest daughter is thriving at the University of Florida in the business program. (Go Gators!)

Within the last 4 years, John has begun and operated two new businesses, which were born from his real estate experiences. Seeing so many people struggle with home damage and how difficult it was to sell homes with older roofs in FL, he began two companies to assist homeowners with insurance claims as a public adjuster and a roofing/contracting business, in addition to selling real estate.

John and Amy also own and operate several Airbnb investment properties in the area and have a unique perspective on value in all price points.

The 'Simmonds Team' prides themselves on concierge-style client services, honed negotiating skills, developing meaningful relationships with their clients, and always 'doing the right thing' for all they know, work with, and represent.

Because of these unwavering commitments in their lives and businesses, the Simmonds Team is consistently ranked in the top 1% of top-producing teams in North America! Something they are honored and humbled by.

Thank you for choosing the Simmonds Team when selecting someone to advise you on your most prized and important asset - your HOME!

Happy Clients.

"This is our 2nd transaction with Amy/The Simmonds Team and the process couldn't have been easier. Amy and John are extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the real estate process and very responsive to all our needs. I literally can't think of a single part of either transactions that I could say needed improvement. Thank you again for your assistance with our home purchases. Great job!"

Carene Kratzel

"The Simmonds Team was very professional. They kept track of ALL the necessary steps from start to finish in selling my house. I was sent emails of any and all updates done on my behalf. Amy Simmonds helped me through this event w/the utmost efficiency, kindness and humor. I highly recommend this team/company!"

Melinda Eliassen

"Amy Simmonds is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She knows the local industry inside and out and when it comes to negotiating, you definitely want her on your side. She and her team handle all of the details so nothing slips through the cracks and actually make the process enjoyable, if that's possible!" "Thanks Amy and The Simmonds Team!"

Julia Vogt

"Amy and her team crossed every “t” and dotted every “i” to ensure everything flowed perfectly. Everything you would look for in a quality person and organization. Don’t waste your time looking for someone else. The Simmonds Team is terrific!"

Tom Halverson

"I actually selected the Simmonds Team to sell my condo after they represented the seller on a home purchase that I made. Amy Simmonds made the process painless, the photos were outstanding including great aerials, the suggested sales prices point was higher that I anticipated (and we got it), and we had an offer in less than 2 weeks with their network strategy. Their team was supportive and highly professional and I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for buyer/seller representation."

Kevin Smitt

"Absolutely masterful service from start to finish. Amy and her team were fantastic through the 1.5 years we worked with them while renting and then ultimately selling our house. She was around even when on vacation to work with us and make sure all of our questions and needs were met. Then, when we moved out of town, her and her team took kept us up on the local market, and also took care of the home and various appointments from different service folks/showings. From the pictures, to the showings, to understanding the local market, and then ultimately negotiating (she's a veteran and even helped the other broker manage her client) to a final deal, all of these qualities shined through. Highly recommend her, you'll be glad you did."

Brett Wentz

"Amy’s professionalism, immediate response time, input and organization was outstanding! Prior to putting our property for sale Amy provided us a detailed breakdown of all costs associated so there would be no surprises at closing…much unlike all the other REALTORS® we have used in the past and the unexpected expenses we incurred. Every step of the process was seamless and we greatly appreciate the personal attention given to both us and our property!"

Home Buyer

"Amy Simmonds and her team have been absolutely incredible to work with, and we couldn’t recommend her or her team more highly. They were our choice five years ago, when buying our first Florida home. When it came time to sell and buy a second time, we asked The Simmonds Team to represent us once again. Our transactions with them could not have gone more smoothly. We received top dollar for our home sale, and Amy expertly negotiated on our behalf for the house we chose to purchase. All three transactions were quick, easy, and uncomplicated for us as buyers and sellers. We don’t intend to move again, but if we ever do purchase additional real estate there is no question who we’ll choose to work with!"

Tiffany Maiste

"Amy and her team are the BEST. So helpful every step of the way! I've known Amy for about 10 yrs now and She has helped me buy two homes and sell two homes. She also helped me rent my Florida home a few times before selling it! Always there to help in any way...Amy's counsel, knowledge, and direct approach helped on every Sale. Thank you Compass TEAM!"

Missy Thomann

"Amy is a pleasant, knowledgeable, and extremely skilled professional. A great teammate to have when selling or buying a valued asset. She got me very fair value and made the whole experience a pleasure--a far cry from the nightmare adventures I have heard from others who weren't lucky enough to have had Amy on their team." "What more can be said! I strongly and enthusiastically recommend her and her accomplished crew."

Bob Brennan

"Amy Simmonds and her All Star Team blew the doors off our prior listing agreement/firm. We had been on the market for 6 months with 5 price cuts and only 2 very low ball offers. Amy made a few key suggestions for the property, (including raising the price back to fair value), fired up her magic marketing machine, and sold our home for full asking price within just a few days of listing. We ended up NETTING more than the ASKING price suggested by our prior listing company. Service after the contract was also premier. Jen Comfort and Amy Cordeiro on the team were heaven sent. We were out of town sellers so they stepped up with getting minor cosmetic repairs and contractors as needed following inspection. All work was done quickly and reasonably in time for closing. The entire Simmonds Group process, start to finish was an A+++ experience."

Greg Newman

"We have worked with Amy and the Simmonds Team for many years during two rental periods and during the listing and sale of our home. We would not consider any other agent as Amy offers a 5 star service with a 5 star team. We have met with her many times in personal, she was always professional and attentive of our needs. We sold a property while living in another country and during COVID times, we expected this to be a very stressful time but Amy and her Team took care of everything, her knowledge and experience are excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone buying, selling or renting their home or apartment. We had so many questions and issues, she answered all of our questions and took care of all the unexpected issues that came up, Amy always offered her time and energy, she was super helpful and would even take of extra issues to get the job the done. Amy offers a true 5 star service in all areas and is the only agent that you need to use."

Brian Owen

"Amy is fantastic! She helped us buy our first home, relocating from MA to Jupiter, FL. Amy is incredibly connected in the local market (mortgage lenders, inspectors, title/escrow companies, handymen, plumbers, you name it) which helped us complete our transaction quickly (3 week closing, requested by the seller) and guided at every step of the way. Which, was really valuable for us, being first time home buyers, and us being 1,400 miles away for much of it. Highly recommended!"

Mattias Jansson

"Amy and her team provided us with such an enjoyable experience. As first time home buyers, we were extremely nervous about this process. Thanks to Amy and everyone over at the Simmonds team our purchase went off without a hitch. She was incredibly communicative and accessible for all of our questions and concerns. We love our home and it’s all thanks to Amy! Beyond thrilled and we HIGHLY recommend."

Chloe Rothman

"Amy Simmonds and her team are beyond spectacular! Professional, personable, helpful, wonderful...always available, and unquestionable integrity. We met Amy through our dear friend Rosa, who discovered this fantastic REALTOR® a few years ago. Amy met us and set up two days of tours of the Jupiter area. During a time of very low inventory, she guided us to the perfect condo within our price point, through making an offer designed to get us the property, and set up everything else from negotiation through the closing. Her team made the entire process smooth, hassle-free. We admire that her only interest was in finding us what we wanted, in our price range. We loved meeting and working with her. Her team even met a contractor for us, since we are out of state. We not only recommend her highly, but can't imagine doing business with anyone else."

Anne Ruddy

"We have used Amy Simmonds for a total of five real estate transactions over the past 13 years, both as sellers and buyers. She is an excellent REALTOR®. She has a very good understanding of the local Jupiter market and we trust her recommendations. She is very personable and is easy to work with. Without hesitation, we will continue using her as our REALTOR® in the future."

Jeanne Yetz

"Amy and her team were so knowledgeable and made us feel as if we were always in the best of hands during every aspect of the sale of our home. Amy went above and beyond and worked tirelessly to make this transaction happen taking every hurdle in stride. Being out of state, there was no way that this would have worked without Amy being involved. We are forever grateful and highly recommend Amy and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

Ted Borowski

"This was our second time using Amy and her team, and I feel like they are part of our family now. Due to a health crisis, we had to sell our townhome and move to a single-story home. Amy was right there for us, anticipating our needs and handling every aspect of the sale and new purchase. She and her whole team went above and beyond what is expected of a REALTOR®. I highly recommend the Simmonds team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home."
